NARROW WAY-2

Text: Matthew 7:13

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

Yesterday, we looked at one of the three major features of a narrow way, today,we shall be looking at the second one.

Jesus once said in Matthew 18;3 that  unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 

The way that leads to life is narrow, hence it can only take people that are child-like at heart. A child is not as proud as as an adult. A child is humble and that's the reason the narrow way can take him.
Jesus said, *"...whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 18:4)*.

The narrow way does not look attractive. It is the humble way for humble people. So, if you are going to travel on the narrow way, you must be converted and become like a child.

Jessu also said that  unless you are *converted* and *become* as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.(Matthew 18:3).

Every user of the narrow way are people that have experienced conversion and have become as little children .

The reason for conversion as unto a Little  child is because such does not respond to the pull of temptation like an adult. A little child has no anxiety, no worries, no unforgiveness, no hate. He simply loves everyone,even his enemies- he does not even know he has one. A little child simply lives in trust and under the shadow of his parents. A little child  does the will of his parents 100 percent. He wholly depends on his parents for everything. These qualities of a little child are what qualifies you for the narrow way.

A little child is actually one whose realities are found  1 Corinthians 13. He simply walks in love!

 *BIBLE READING* 
:
1 Corinthians 13:1-8.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* :

Father, help me to find the narrow way (Jesus Christ), and never to depart from Him in Jesus name.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
